Biography
Pierre Bellec was born in New France (present-day Canada) in 1741 to a French and Belgian family, and he joined the French Army during the French and Indian War. He found out that his family was a part of the Assassin Order while serving as a Corporal in the colonial French forces, and chose not to rise in rank, because he would serve the Assassins better as a nondescript soldier. In 1763 he headed to France to escape the Colonial Assassin Purge, and made the acquaintance of Charles Dorian, a French nobleman who lived in Versailles. He purposely got himself thrown in many prisons in search of writings on a wall, and in the Bastille, he found it. While in the Bastille in 1789, he met Arno Dorian, son of Charles, who was killed earlier that year. He escaped with Arno during the Storming of the Bastille, jumping off the roof in a leap of faith into a haystack. Bellec went on to train Arno in the arts of the Assassin, and had him inducted into the order in 1791.

However, as a Master Assassin, he developed extreme views that the Templar Order and Assassins could never make peace. He disagreed with Mentor Mirabeau about his attempts to make peace with the Templars, and on 2 April 1791 he poisoned him and put the blame on Templar Elise de la Serre, who allied with Arno against the new order of the Templars under Francois-Thomas Germain. Bellec was later encountered by Arno on the stop of the Sainte-Chapelle chapel in the Ile de la Cite of Paris, wher he told Arno that he was only trying to repeat the successful purges of Masyaf, Monteriggioni, and the American Colonies. He told Arno that the Assassins should not get involved in politics because they were an army, and in the army, making peace with enemies was called "treason". Bellec tried to convince Arno to join him, but Arno refused, and the two duelled. They later crashed through the window and Arno was able to incapacitate Bellec after a long fight. Bellec was finished off by Arno's hidden blades, and the traitor in the Assassins was dead.
